Imagine it is the year 2050. Humans have never done anything for 20 years. If you want food it is there in a second, created, served, pre-chewed. Actors have left the stage, teachers have left the schools, everything is CGI. Roads, cities, buildings, all are controlled by AI.

Will the few humans who can understand the new world be like a new species that the rest of us cannot even talk to? And what will happen to the rest of us? Will we experience a short period of degeneration and end up as heads in a jar?

How will we find fulfilment in such a scenario? Bring your biomatter to the auditorium to discuss the near future.
